April 1997 Natural Health Update (Candida Treatment Revisited.. What works and What Doesn't)

By Michael Biamonte, C.C.N.

A REVIEW OF 10 YEARS OF RESEARCH!

If you suspect that you have chronic Candidiasis consider carefully the treatment recommended by your health practitioner. 80% of all the treatments I have come across are either only temporary in reducing symptoms or very toxic to vital organs such as the liver.

Signs of overgrowth of yeast are very similar in most case:

  1. Gastrointestinal upset, bloating, constipation, itching rectum, burning stool, gas and cramps are some of the first signs of overgrowth. This overgrowth has a chance to invade other parts of the body. Since the vaginal tract is close to the anus of the female, this seems to be where Candida first moves. At this stage vaginal infections, or in a male jock itch, is common. At this point Candida seems to move through the tract shared by the reproductive and urinary systems. Most males surveyed who have Candida appeared to have contracted it after oral sex with an infected female partner. For this reason it is common that males end up with spores in their lungs and respiratory problems!
  2. Candida can then break through the intestinal membrane and move directly into the blood stream. It travels the body in an immature form, finds a weak area to invade and grows into a trouble maker. This causes the organ or gland to malfunction. Food allergies and a host of digestive complaints now occur.
  3. Fatigue, tiredness and irritability will now occur. Detached state of mind, memory loss and difficulty concentrating are common at the third stage.
  4. Adult onset allergy can then occur. Dr. Kurt Donsbach has found that allergies start out as being minor food reactions and then expand into major allergies, sensitivities and chemical sensitivities. Extreme allergies then can occur to the point where everything affects the person.
  5. The last stage of Candida is complete mental deterioration with depression, delusions or even suicidal tendencies.

CANDIDA DETECTION

Anyone treated for candida in the past who still experiences any of these stages, call our office and schedule to have the new CDSA stool test.

The CDSA stands for “comprehensive digestive stool analysis.” This test does not merely test for Candida. It measures and reports those factors that can be wrong with the digestive system that allow the Candida to grow. These factors are revealed and can then be corrected. Candida is hard to locate in stool samples. Even if it is present it may not show up. This test looks for the finger prints and foot prints the Candida leaves behind. It also shows us what needs to be corrected to eliminate the cause of the Candida!

The CDSA test it gives us the most accurate view of a patient’s level of Candida and the cause of it. As stated above the CDSA also reveals what needs to be corrected to eliminate the cause of the Candida in the digestive tract.

TREATMENTS THAT MIGHT FAIL!

The most popular drug treatment for Candida is called Nystatin. This drug works in the intestinal tract and can eliminate Candida. However it is not absorbed into the blood stream. It can not kill the remaining 70% of the Candida that may travel the body. It also looses its effectiveness the longer it is used. Other drugs such as Nizoral can travel the blood but are very toxic and come with warnings that they can only be taken for a short period of time. I do not believe they can be taken long enough to kill the candida.

THE CONFUSION OF TREATMENTS, DON’T END UP ON 60 PILLS A DAY!

In the natural health field practitioners will tell you that “We must detox you”, or “We must build up your immune system”, or ” We must raise your energy”, or ” We must kill your Candida and parasites !”

Some will tell you that you have to do all 4 at once and put you on 60 pills a day. This won’t work because your body will get confused and can’t use all those nutrients and pills that are doing totally different things all at the same time! Worse yet, vitamins stop Candida killers from working!

WHAT WORKS?

What works is to get tested to find out exactly what level of Candida you have and through the stool test what factors need correcting in your gut to fix the real cause!

  1. First eliminate “Parasites”. They can cause Candida by destroying friendly bacteria just as antibiotics do.
  2. Candida is now attacked using natural herbs that can kill it throughout the body. These herbs also start killing it in the intestines. These herbs are not taken all together every day because the Candida will get use to them. So they must be taken alone one at a time. We usually use 4 different ones, taken each one alone for 4 days.
  3. Candida must then be cleaned out from the intestines. At this point we use a different type of natural Candida killer that concentrates on sticking to and absorbing into the intestinal wall so it can kill it at the roots. While we do this we also clean out the whole digestive tract so the killers can contact and reach any Candida that might be buried under old mucus or hardened feces. After this is complete, friendly acidophillus and bifidus bacteria are given. This prevents the yeast from coming back.
    Any damage done to the intestines can be repaired at this time. Special vitamin formulations are used that will reduce inflammation and reform healthy tissue.
  4. Candida causes vitamin deficiencies. It prevents iron, B12, zinc, selenium and other nutrients from being absorbed. This causes low energy and fatigue. When Candida is eliminated we can begin to take these nutrients and feel a benefit from them.
  5. Now is the time to build the immune system back up. When Candida is present the immune system tires from the constant battle. The immune system rarely recovers while the Candida is still there. When all these steps are complete the body can now rest and the immune system can absorb the vitamins it needs to restore itself.

This is what I have found to work the best over ten years of research into the problem.

THYROID RESEARCH UPDATE..THE NATURAL SOLUTION TO THYROID PROBLEMS!!

MY RESEARCH INTO WILSON’S SYNDROME IS COMPLETE!

In our last newsletter we discussed thyroid problems that failed to show up in blood work. Low body temperature, below 97.8 when taken under the armpit in the morning is key in identifying a person with this problem. The following is a list of common symptoms.

  • COLD HANDS AND FEET
  • MENSTRUAL PROBLEMS
  • MIGRAINE HEADACHES
  • FIBROIDS
  • CONSTIPATION
  • HAIR LOSS
  • DRY SKIN
  • WEIGHT GAIN
  • FATIGUE
  • CHRONIC CANDIDA, VAGINAL INFECTIONS OR VIRUSES

I have just concluded my research into this condition. I have discovered that when the minerals zinc and selenium are deficient the thyroid hormones T4 and T3 cannot function correctly .

Thyroid hormone is produced using phenalaline and tyrosine which are amino acids. Iron helps your body convert phenalaline to tyrosine. The mineral manganese and the element iodine are then used to help produce T4, also called “thyroxin”, in the thyroid. T4 travels to the liver where it is converted to T3 which is the active form of thyroid hormone. The liver using zinc, converts the hormone to T3. The mineral selenium is required to convert T3 from the type the body will store for later use into the active form that it will use in your cells. If there is not enough selenium, the body may convert the T3 into a form that is stored for later use. This can occur to excess and will rob the body of active T3 that is needed for energy now. Potassium is then used to make you cells sensitive to the effects of the hormone and helps the hormone work in your cells.

If any of these steps are interrupted Wilson’s syndrome will occur!!

To date, 95% of our clients who are on the new protocol are reporting their body temperatures returning too normal!!!

HORMONE TESTING USING SALIVA FOUND MORE ACCURATE THAN BLOOD!!!

As part of my on going research here in Florida I have discovered a new test developed by a researcher that is more accurate for determining hormone levels then blood. This researcher has found that saliva measures the amount of hormone that is available for the body to use. The blood levels were found not to reflect the amount of hormone the body could use. The blood reflected total amount, not the usable amount. He also found that the blood tests for hormones were affected by stress. The simple stress of being stuck with a needle to take to the test could throw off the hormone levels significantly. The hormones that can be tested using this method are:

  • ESTROGEN
  • PROGESTERONE
  • TESTOSTERONE
  • MELATONIN
  • DHEA
  • CORTISOL

The tests are normally done in the morning at home when relaxed. The sample is then mailed into the lab. We will have the results back within 3-4 days after the lab receives the sample by fax.

NEW WEIGHT LOSS BREAKTHROUGH!!!!!!!

AS CLOSE TO A MIRACLE AS I HAVE EVER SEEN!

Two very important substances, CHITOSAN and CALORAD, are being added to our FAT BURNING PROGRAM. They will help make weight loss easier and more effective. They are perfectly safe and will work on 85% of the people who try them. My up dated FAT BURNING PROGRAM follows these basic steps:

  1. INTERNAL CLEANSING OF DIGESTIVE TRACT AND LIVER: Many people who have weight problems have a toxic intestinal system and a sluggish liver. Constipation can be a cause of weight gain. The longer the food stays in the digestive system the more calories are absorbed. Speeding up the transit time of food through the intestines cuts back the amount of calories you will absorb. When the intestines become constipated it tends to slow down the metabolism and create a toxic liver. The liver is responsible for the metabolism of fats. If the liver becomes sluggish fats will not be broken down and then burned up as fuel.
  2. THYROID AND METABOLISM BALANCING: This is actually the most important step. The results of a mineral analysis, blood test and hormonal analysis will detect errors in the metabolism that has made weight loss either very difficult or impossible. Using a very customized program to fit you exactly, we will correct these nutritional and biochemical errors.
  3. ADVANCED FAT BURNING: In this final step Calorad and CHITOSAN are introduced. Calorad will not work in someone who has thyroid deficiencies or who is on medications that slow down the metabolism. This is why it is introduced after thyroid balancing is underway.

Calorad is an amazing new substance that enables the body to burn fat and build muscle while you sleep. It has a similar effect to Growth Hormone Releasers however it is easier to use and works better. It is a protein derived from bovine sources that is also very beneficial for arthritis suffers. Calorad stimulates the body to burn fat and build muscle while you sleep.

Chitosan is a fat blocker. It is a safe form of fiber that comes from marine sources. It blocks the absorption of fats. It is taken before meals. Chitosan will help block fats from our diet so it is useful in managing cholesterol and triglycerides.

THE RESULTS ON THIS PROGRAM ARE TRULY AMAZING, AFTER YEARS OF RESEARCH IT IS COMPLETE AND READY FOR YOU TO ENJOY!
